--- Comment #8 from Philip Kovacs <pkdevel@xxxxxxxxx> ---
After a discussion on an upstream forum, it's clear to me now that adding a
dedicated slurm user with a static uid is not the best approach for this
package.
We don't to make incorrect assumptions about how installations will manage
their users and slurm clusters are often managed with ldap-type tools. 
End-users of slurm must also have consistent uids on all nodes, so installers
will likely turn to ldap/nis, etc. anyway to create a working system.

I am going to alter the rpm spec to remove the slurm user creation, install for
root, and leave the user-management issues to the installers.  

I will also add a "bonus" script for Fedora that eases the ownership change of
a node to whatever user/group the installer wants after installation.
